Okushiga Kogen – The Best Snow in the Largest Ski Area of Japan

Locating at 1,500 to 2,300 meters above sea level in the north eastern part of Nagano Prefecture, Shiga Kogen is the collective name of 21 ski and snowboard areas that are interconnected to form the largest ski area in Japan. It is where the Giant Slalom and Slalom races were held in the 1998 Nagano Olympics. There are 66 ski chairlifts and cable cars which you may travel on one ski pass. It takes many days to ski all the trails and certainly you may ski for hours without repeat in one day. The day pass for adult is ¥5,000. A half day pass is ¥4,000. There are also point pass and family pass to suit your needs.

Shiga Kogen is renowned for its excellent light powder snow, particularly in the area of Okushiga Kogen. That’s where I were!

One of the best things about Okushiga Kogen is that it is not crowded. Not high up at this level. 奧志賀高原除了粉雪之外,最大優點是不會太多人。

Beautiful mountain view all the way up the mountain.
沿途風景優美,到處看任何角度都很吸引。

It is pretty rare to see ski students practicing this high up the mountain. Believe me, this was the talking point of the day. Everyone noticed.
看到一班學生,聽說是很少有的。他們一般不會來到這個高位。真的,當天奧志賀高原酒店內的人都注意到。

From the top of the Okushiga Gondola, the view was spectacular! That’s an incentive for me to become a skier.
來到奧志賀 Gondola 最高位,看到這個景觀,就知道為什麼那麼多人喜愛滑雪。能夠在這樣美境中滑雪,在粉雪上飛馳,我也愛上了滑雪!
